I also emailed them to see if they could provide a pic of the gun metal and after a few days patiently waiting they advised they did not have any pics. They look real good but I dunno about the polished face. I would rather have the wheel all gun metal

C350 4MATIC Premium Package Obsidian Black
looks great! i cannot believe that these rims with rubber was only 1900. i know that you got a better deal that makes these rims even more appealing. took a look at their site looks like they alot of stuff for our cars.

Edit: ok i dont mean to high jack the thread but i would like to get some feedback from you guys out there. I am looking for all different types of black 19's for my car. any suggestions for brands?

The factory rims are made by Ronal Wheels if that helps. Ronal wheels are not to expensive, they don't make these wheels in 19's or 20's.

Good buy on the wheels, if I remember the factory 18's upgrade cost 1k.

not sure, but ill check them out tomorrow and let you know. seriously the place i went to really took care of things, and made sure things fit perfectly. the offsets are perfect, they line up with the fenders perfectly. they're not the typical tire shop, they mainly do things online, but they have a warehouse they work out of and the equpiment to install the wheels.
I just ordered a set of 20inchers from Bekkers. Same rims you have. I was wondering if you could refer me to the shop that mounted and balanced your rims and tires if they are sin SOCAL. I don't want to risk it with the Tire pressure monitoring system and all.

the place i went to isnt really a straight tire shop, i dont think they do mounting and install unless you get the rims and tires from them because they do it for free for their customers. i heard Harbor Motor Sports does a good job. They are a sponor of this site.

gets me from point A-B
Do the 19''s affect the performance in any way (acceleration 0-60, handling, braking, etc) and how long is the average tire life?
I have 18''s on my IS and they said average tire life is 15,000, but i drove them until 35,000, now the rubber's peeling off the front tires, so im replacing them today.
My tires are 225s in the front and 255s in the back so they're staggered.

the 19s do affect the acceleration. i can feel it lag a little bit, but thats expected for larger rims. tire life really depends on the brand of tires you get, i heard yokohamas are real good. if youre looking to keep your car speed then stick with smaller rims.

MAN WAITING FOR THE MAIL SUCKS!!!!! I wonder how long shipping is going to take? I'll probably just go buy a c63 and put the rims on that. It certainly seems like I'll have enough time to save the money HAHAH.

Here is a better side shot of the car. some of you have PMed me about getting a better angle to see the actual lift that 19s do to your car if you dont plan on lowering it... you can also see my new spoiler.

Look great!

mercedes c300 2008
c300 at bekkers

hi guys,

great post, rims look great... so i have done some research and am ready to pick up these rims for my c300 (sports package) 2008. Only issues after talking to MERC is the following
1) is the offset going to be okay because of the sports package and the rears.

the stock rims i believe are 8" wide on the front and 8.5" on the back, whereas these are 9 and 9.5"
2) i have the tenorite gray, so i was going to keep it with the hypercolor silver rims, because i have no clue what the gunmetal looks like, ill see if i can get a pick
3) what tires would fit on these rims (i have asked bekkers this)

I just want to make sure everything is cool before buying them.. so is it confirmed that these fit 100% with the c300 2008 w/ sports package?

thanks

Unless I'm mistaken, aren't those rims staggered setup? If so, I don't think it'll work on 4matics.
